#730 Science Is A Minefield (Part 1) - Professor Mark Febbraio

Professor Mark Febbraio is a Senior Principal Research Fellow of the NHMRC, and the Head of the Cellular and Molecular Metabolism Laboratory within the Drug Discovery Program at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Monash University. And while that all sounds very fancy, he’s also a Mate of mine who was a regular on my radio show (The Science of Sport) for five years. It was good to catch up with the Prof. and we freestyled around a bunch of topics including, under and over-training, morning heart rate, challenging dogma in science, recovery, personalised nutrition and exercise prescription, double-blind placebo trials, dodgy science vs. good science, spontaneous healing, quick-fixes and miracle drugs that aren’t. Enjoy.
